I found this information and its very interesting because you can learn about life aboard the ISS( International Space Station) http://science.howstuffworks.com/space-station4.htm


Diferent kinds on misions

I found that in wikipedia simple english. Take a look, because its take about the diferent tipes of mision that the human have done. Its helpfull. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission
BE CAREFULL BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT OTHER MISION THAT ARE NOT IMPORTANT FOR US.

http://ciencia.nasa.gov/ This link is in spanish but the information is really interesting.


**http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/russia_500days_041011.html** I found this really intresting and important because its tells you that Russian comission will simuleted a space travel to mars. This consisted that the Russian comission will out six people into a space ship,here in earth, to evaluete if they will survive, there psychologic reactions, and pysicical stress. hal-small.gif

Robots in space

This information can help us. It is about a robot, phoenix, that is working in Mars. Here is de link, http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(spacecraft)This ia R2, a robot created by NASA and General Motors engineries. And maybe, he would work in space with the others astronauts. Here is the link and a video that explain how R2 can work, http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/02/gm-nasa-robonaut-2/ And here there is more information, http://www1.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/robonaut.htmlHere there is a very important website that explain a dude that scientist have, Why they have NEVER SEND A MACHINE TO DO A HUMAN'S JOB?, and this is the tittle too. IT´s very important because this page talk about a common question, Should robots replace humans in space?. Here is the link, check it. http://news.discovery.com/space/greg-fish-humans-robots.html

Space exploration

People, this link is from WIKIPEDIA:) the information is very good, talks about the exploration itself, or the exploration that had been done in diferents planets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_exploration

http://2010groups3and7.wikispaces.com/Becoming+experts#Become
guys, I found this information in wikipedia, and I think it is important because we can find more information about the firsts travells and a new robot that was sent to the space. so, look at it.
GUYS WHO EDIT THIS? The person had forgot to put the link...

Space Travel Has a Small Future

http://www.space.com/opinionscolumns/opinions/kuper_000419.html I found this really intresting because its tells you about nanotechnology that is crucial to the future of space travel. Nanotechnology is a big step to the future of space travel

NASA postpones last shuttle mission to November

The link is this: http://www.space-travel.com/reports/NASA_postpones_last_shuttle_mission_to_November_999.html
I chose this site because it talks about a decisions that took the NASA and I think that is good. NASA has pushed to November the launch of one of Its Remaining three shuttle missions to modify an experiment module to be attached to the International Space Station. The main idea appears in the first paragraph but then explains the causes and consequences of the decision taken.
.
People, this page its from The Nasa, you should go to the part "For students", there are a lot of information like how the astronauts are preparing for their job.
The link: http://www.nasa.gov/

interesting photos and videos!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEFcT4uQ5uE&feature=related For the people who is interested on the aliens, this link is a documental where a group of persons said that the NASA hides some information about life on the space.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo3-fuYKWB4&feature=channel guys, go to this link, is realy funny, there are some astronauts singing on the moon!.

I found this information in http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/k-4/stories/spacewalk-gallery.htmlI think it is very important because in all the pictures apears and astronaut walking on the moon, and it seems to be easy, but it´s not. So this pictures and this information about the picture and the spacetravel, can help us to learn something new and something about what artrounats do when they are in the space, things that we can imagine but we need someone to show this to us.
Astronauts make walking in space look easy. But astronauts use a lot of tools and equipment to help them do their job and stay safe. This gallery is filled with photos of astronauts on spacewalks. The pictures show tools like handrails and foot restraints that astronauts use to move around on spacewalks. They show some of the work astronauts do on spacewalks and how spacewalkers stay safe. The gallery also highlights some of NASA's most historic spacewalks.
America's First Spacewalk (1965)
Astronaut Ed White performed the first American spacewalk during the Gemini 4 mission on June 3, 1965

Sticking Your Neck Out (1969)

Apollo 9 astronaut David Scott stands inside the Apollo capsule with the hatch open. The Apollo 9 mission tested the docking of two spacecraft that would later take astronauts to the moon.


On the Way Home (1972)

On the way back from the moon, Apollo 17 astronaut Ronald Evans went on a spacewalk. Evans brought in film from cameras outside the command and service module. Apollo 17 was the final Apollo mission to the moon.

Making Repairs (1973)

Skylab astronaut Owen Garriott works outside Skylab, America's first space station. Spacewalks on Skylab were the first time astronauts went outside to fix a problem with their spacecraft.

Shielded From the Sun (1973)

Astronaut Jack Lousma helped install a solar shield on the Skylab space station. The shield protected part of Skylab from the sun's heat. Look closely in Lousma's helmet to see a reflection of the earth

The Shuttle's First EVA (1983)

Astronaut Story Musgrave works in the payload bay of the space shuttle. Musgrave and astronaut Donald Peterson performed the first extravehicular activity, or spacewalk, outside the space shuttle on STS-6 in 1983.

Free Floating (1984)

Astronaut Bruce McCandless is seen floating above Earth. He is farther away from the safety of his spaceship than any astronaut had ever been. This was made possible by a jet pack on his back called the Manned Maneuvering Unit, or MMU. McCandless tested the MMU near the space shuttle. He then went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the space shuttle.




I found this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceflight
is important because Spaceflight is about the use of space technology to fly a spacecraft into and through outer space, which may include:

Or this other link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_spaceflight

is about


Astronauts on Twitter

Twitter is is social network, some astronauts are there. Many are twittering from space or from the International Space Station.
Here you can have a look at what they're saying. They also publish photos. For example, have a look at this astronaut in bed.


Space travel

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/exploration/futurespaceflight/nuclearpower.shtml
Ok, here i post a link where you can see nuclear power, that is what we use to travel in the space. this article talk more about nuclear rocket, that is what the spaceship use to take off and travel in the space. This make the spaceship more faster than the chemical spacecraft. The article also talk about another type of rockets and there are more links whit another information of space traveling.
More information:
  1. Ion engines
  2. Solar sails
  3. Antimatter spacecraft
  4. Flying saucers
  5. Space elevators


I found this in http://www.space-travel.com/reports/Arianespace_Signs_Contract_With_HUGHES_To_Launch_Jupiter_999.html

Arianspace signs contract with HUGHES to launch Jupiter.

North American satellite operator and services provider, Hughes, has engaged Arianespace to orbit its powerful Ka-Band broadband satellite Jupiter. Arianespace has announced that it has been selected by Hughes Network Systems to launch its Ka-Band, high-throughput Jupiter satellite. The contract calls for a launch in the first half of 2012.
Jupiter will weigh approximately 6,100 kgs at liftoff and will be placed into geostationary transfer orbit by the workhorse Ariane 5 ECA from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.
Built by Space Systems/Loral for Hughes, the high-throughput Jupiter satellite will deliver HughesNet broadband satellite services in North America, building upon the success of the Hughes SPACEWAY 3 satellite system. This next-generation satellite is designed with a bent-pipe, multi-spot beam, Ka-band architecture that will offer an extraordinary 100+ Gbps of throughput.

Hey im Francisco. P and i found this i ntresting web page of NASA that talks about antimatter space ships. Is very intresting beacause it talks about a new way to travel to space and how it works. "Some antimatter reactions produce blasts of high energy gamma rays gamma rays . Gamma rays are like X-rays on steroids."
Also it have a lot of intresting information that can help you to know about a way to travel to the space.

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/russia_500days_041011.html I found this really intresting and important because its tells you that Russian comission will simuleted a space travel to mars. This consisted that the Russian comission will out six people into a space ship,here in earth, to evaluete if they will survive, there psychologic reactions, and pysicical stress.

I am Javier and I found this in http://www.marsdaily.com/reports/NASA_Orbiter_Penetrates_Mysteries_Of_Martian_Ice_Cap_999.html NASA Orbiter Penetrates Mysteries Of Martian Ice Cap
Pasadena CA (SPX) May 28, 2010
Data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have helped scientists solve a pair of mysteries dating back four decades and provided new information about climate change on the Red Planet. The Shallow Radar, or SHARAD, instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter revealed subsurface geology allowing scientists to reconstruct the formation of a large chasm and a series of spiral troughs on the northern ice cap of Mars. The findings appear in two papers in the May 27 issue of the journal Nature.
